fame

TED Talks speakers are famous. They’re eloquent. They have a ton of Twitter followers. They are amazing speakers, writers, coaches, entrepreneurs, story-tellers.

Right??

The truth is, there are some amazing TED Talks out there by people like Simon Sinek or Brené Brown. Some that go viral. These are the ones that stick in your mind. Some people assume that they have to be like that too.

There are also many by regular people that aren’t famous.

2.5 million views is pretty good for a non-famous speaker!

I know what you’re thinking — “but Ryan, it’s obviously better to have more followers or more qualifications than none, right?!”
